The day of registration is where tips for hosting an event with the use of the Name Tag Tamer™ really saves the day. This is a critical time and the one place you don’t want a slow-moving bottleneck is at a registration table.
When hosting large events, it’s not unusual to have 50 or more guests arrive at the same time. One of our tips for hosting an event is to spread out the welcome points to different locations if your venue has available space.
Name Tag Tamers are designed to hold signs on top of the name tag boards. This is an ideal place to divide guest name badges alphabetically. When your guests see the signs with large letters of the alphabet i.e. A-G, H-N, O-R, S-Z, they know immediately where to go to find their badge – no explanation needed.
While Name Tag Tamer™ display boards hold many types of badges (including magnetic badges), if you use standard 2¼” x 3½” acetate holders with metal clips, the badges can be preset in your office before the event. Acetate badges are also more eco-friendly and last longer than vinyl badges, which are easily bent if kept loose in a box.
Badges with the metal clips stay in place on Tamer display boards when transported to your event when using the Name Tag Tamer™ Carrying Case. Upon arrival at the event, all badges are organized and ready for your guests as soon as the boards are set up on your easels.
Alphabetized printed signs for the top of the boards is a key component of the Name Tag Tamer system. If you have more than 66 guests, splitting badges between two or more boards and alphabetically labeling the signs to direct guests completely eliminates any bottlenecks! Imagine walking into an event entrance to find six Name Tag Tamer boards, three spaced apart on each side of the event entrance way. This means that when hundreds of guests arrive, you can instantly divide them in half on each side of the room. Each side is divided again in thirds, drastically reducing the crowds for one small entrance point. Since it is so simple for guests to find their own name badges quickly, there are never any long lines to wait in!
